The Western Cape government has vowed to put measures in place to protect commuters on long-haul buses this festive season. | nickymccain
Western Cape Premier Alan Winde and Mobility MEC Daylin Mitchell visited bus operator Intercape's Cape Town depot on Tuesday. The visit followed an attack on an Intercape bus over the weekend.
"Yet there has been little to no action taken. People deserve safe, reliable and dignified public transport, which the national government is not able to provide," Winde said. Intercape criticised the plan for failing to address the reopening of areas in which Intercape had not been able to operate, such as Cofimvaba, Butterworth, Engcobo, Tsomo and Dutywa.
